The details of what led to retired NFL offensive lineman Richie Incognito’s arrest on Monday at an Arizona funeral home have started to emerge and they are somewhat disturbing.

According to a police report, employees at Messingers Pinnacle Peak Mortuary in Scottsdale became frightened after Incognito showed up at the business and said he wanted his father’s head removed for research purposes and then began to punch caskets and throw things.

Following a back-and-forth discussion about cremation papers, Incognito made “himself comfortable” in the office of one of the alleged victims and issued a threat.

“He made a gesture and said he was going to kill somebody here and said he had guns in his truck,” according to a 911 call made by an employee. “We are just very afraid right now.”
